Billionaires benefit from the mythology America has told itself for decades of the scrappy guy or gal who just came up with a genius idea the market didn’t know it needed and who profited without government help when they launched the idea. Almost none of this is true.

I want to live in the timeline where Confess, Fletch didn't flop and I've got a stable, Jon Hamm-helmed franchise just churning out fun, breezy movies every couple of years.

So let me get this straight - white national insurrectionists who broke into Our House get reparations, but not decedents of slaves who have survived 20 generations of racism, violence, and forced economic disparity. This is America.

I think a lot of people should go to prison when this is over

0x2=0

I will keep mentioning the segregationist goals of the feds and many other higher ed stakeholders in these interviews and one day a reporter will print it

Rep. Thomas Massie has conceded. Republican voters have rejected the member of their own party most responsible for forcing the vote to release the Epstein files. All because Trump, a man named in the Epstein files thousands of times, didn't want them released. That says a lot. None of it good.

Stop. Confirming. Judges.

Journalists need to avoid making this category error

If you're a Democrat and you confirm someone who refuses to unequivocally say "Joe Biden won the 2020 election," you should lose your job.

As a Portsmouth fan, I couldn't be more delighted.

Jared Polis should resign today and never return to politics.

Excellent.

I am begging anyone who says shit like this to look at places with legislative term limits to see how it's gone. Ohio has had them for 30+ years and it has led to rampant corruption, perpetual campaigning, the ascent of lobbyists, and the back-burnering of anything but the most gimmicky legislation.

since so many dem electeds are lawyers i dont think its asking them too much to act during hostile hearings like they are lawyers seeking to send a murderer to prison for life. thats how you should approach this. accusation, accusation, accusation, make the bastards squirm and weave and dodge

Imagine what the country would be like if Republicans spent as much time working on policy as they do working on disenfranchising voters?

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

It's kind of ironic that Democrats think they're acting responsibly by tamping down this kind of justified anger instead of channeling it, but it's really the opposite. Leads to disaffection, radicalization

For every year that Clinton was out of the White House we have gotten 500 million stories about how Democrats are “out of touch with rural America” and we’ve never gotten stories about how republicans do badly in many suburbs and absolutely get blown out in cities where the mass of people live.

it’s so embarrassing what is no longer disqualifying tbh

What a bush league move by the GCU batter. Trash school pulling a trash HBP when they can't do anything against Nebraska. Finish them off, Jordy.

#HEYHEYHEYHEY #SoThisIsWhatWinningFeelsLike

“Love” is what you are promised in return if you submit and obey. I can’t think of a more accurate depiction of the MAGA social vision.

It doesn’t even seem like it should be physically possible to make more than 600 trades a week. 600! Most people hold onto stock for years and years.

Third Way people might want to consider that the people throwing monkey wrenches in Dems‘ agendas are not the AOC’s but centrists (Manchin, Sinema, Fetterman, this schmo)

unfurling a "white replacement" banner should get you permabanned from MLB stadiums

Pssssssst There already is an answer

I want someone who thinks the US is a truly god-blessed, Exceptional ™ "city on the hill" to explain this fucking phenomenon to me.

This is gonna happen here.

This makes my chosen profession so much weaker. Cowards all the way down.

🤣

It is insane that person who is funding the world’s white supremacist movement & is daily spewing racism, who killed 100,000’s last year by yanking USAID without warning, is regularly discussed in Corporate Media as an industrialist, without any mention of the white supremacism or mass murder.

The right wing freakout about The Odyssey is kind of amazing. Now they're all mad that Odysseus doesn't go snorkeling off a yacht.

Are the Current...back?

“The voters picked this map, and we will be honoring their choice.” It’s a simple message.

Virginia should just proceed with the map anyway tbqh 🤷🏾‍♀️ reinstate the map their damn selves

parole board ought to deny her

The reason people keep doing crimes for Trump is that you get rewarded for doing them, congratulations to Colorado's Dem governor for making sure we get more people trying to overturn elections on his behalf bsky.app/profile/kyle...

this should end his career

A thing Congress should have, as many state legislatures do, is compulsory attendance where you have to ask to be excused and disclose a good reason for why you should be.

This is a form of psychosis. These people will burn the world if they have their way.

@davids.house.gov why?

I’m sorry but the Dems need to run on putting everyone from this administration and bureaucrats who enabled them in prison.

the American higher education system is far from perfect but it's genuinely one of the greatest things about our nation and I wish more of us realized it

Many people have a vested interest in pretending otherwise, but the US research university is globally dominant to an almost unbelievable degree. The typical state university is a football team stapled to a R&D lab with a budget bigger than the entire nation of Belgium.

I'm doubtful she can get the nomination -- second chances are rare in presidential nominations these days, Trump excepted. But she's currently the front runner in polls and anything she can do to force the presidential field to follow her on this vital issue is real leadership.

bluesky — i am talking to you, all of you — need to internalize this and you need to tell everyone you know this. shampoo more expensive? republicans. burgers more expensive? republicans. beer more expensive? republicans.

I can't get over it, Nebraska athletics consistently brings in vibrant young athletes while the state itself stifles life and hates young people, it's the damnest thing. Imagine wasting your university like that because the governor doesn't want anyone looking into his pork plants.

I’m tired of the dishonesty of this entire debate. The folks calling for “perspectives different from their own“ are shutting down Women’s and African American studies because they hate differing opinions. Marginalized folks had a small foothold, and powerful people decided to push them out.

When white supremacists described the first black politicians winning elections in the South during Reconstruction, they too called it a "reign of terror" that innocent white people had to suffer under. Black leaders! Elected to federal office! Can you imagine the indignity?!
